  The SAP error message CB546 ("No by-product or co-product item for material &1 order &2 found") typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when the system is unable to find a defined by-product or co-product for the specified material and order. This can happen in various scenarios, particularly in production planning and execution.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Configuration: The by-product or co-product may not be properly configured in the material master or the production order.
  Incorrect Order Type: The order type may not support by-products or co-products.
  Material Master Settings: The material master for the main product may not have the necessary settings for by-products or co-products.
  Order Status: The production order may be in a status that does not allow for the processing of by-products or co-products.
  Routing Issues: The routing for the production order may not include by-products or co-products.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master: Ensure that the material master for the main product is correctly set up to include by-products and co-products. This can be done in transaction MM02 (Change Material).
